I bought my car new in May 1990 and remain its sole owner/driver. It was my primary car until 1997/1998, where I bought a truck and removed it from the road (difficult - no impossible - to navigate the western PA winter roads). The car has been sitting under a cover in my garage for the past 12-13 years - only about 75,000 mi. I pulled it out about 3 years ago and it fired up almost immediately. I let it idle to get some temp in the engine, shut it down, washed it, and pulled her back into storage. It is my intention to fix the small items (left headlight won't retract, pass door outside handle, hood cylinders need replaced (hood won't remain up unassisted), hood release mechanism needs fixed, want to replace all hoses, plugs, check brakes/fluid, and flush coolant and tranny fluid). Now that I have approached middle age (lol), I intend to only use her for casual driving on nice days. Can't wait fort that first drive !!

This car is a very good car. i have had no major problems with it. it has good acceleration and good handling, it is a solid car, but it rides like a jeep and there is some rattle when you hit big bumps... for a V8 305 the MPG is not that bad around 20 MPG on high/city.if you like the old looking cars than the Apperance is great. sharp, and sleek looking on the inside and out. on the repair side from when i owned this car (going on 2 years) i have had to do some repairs. fuel injectors, spark plugs, wires, distributor cap, and O2 Sensor. i would recommend this car to a freind.

this car is a beast...so powerful and fast, i would def recommend it to others because it is pretty fun. The only problem is that it uses lots gas because of its v8 engine otherwise it is a pretty nice ride

This is definitly a car to have and for the price you can find them it is well worth it. It sounds great both the v6 and v8 models sound awesome. It looks ultra sleek, and even sitting still looks fast. The acceleration on both the v6 and v8 models is out of this world. the v8 model will do a quarter mile in 13 seconds stock. The braking is quality. It handles better than most sports cars that i have driven. The build quality is amazing and easy to upgrade. Im a big fan of the style and the interior can look very very sleek. This car is great and i have a blast in it every day.
